Thanks for posting, Jo. I would love to be on the panel and I'll be applying again this year. Keep your fingers crossed for me, guys.

Good Luck Deb

Hi DisneyJo,

Where do you actually submitt your information for application? Will it be on the mom's panel on September 10th? The mom's panel is a dream of mine....keeping my fingers crossed

Do you have to have stayed in a Disney Hotel during the last 12 months - or have just visited the parks and resorts?
I would be interested in applying but as I always stay offsite I doubt I would be considered.

Hi DisneyJo,

That's how it worked last year. My guess is that, on September 10th, it will be available via the link in Jo's original post.

Do you have to have stayed in a Disney Hotel during the last 12 months - or have just visited the parks and resorts?

There's no requirement to have stayed at a WDW hotel, just to be familiar with WDW and to have visited in the last 12 months, so you've got nothing to lose by applying.

Good luck to everyone!

Jo, I was just wondering, with the answering of people's questions is it a case of you being sent a number of questions to answer per day/week? Or do you choose which ones you are able to answer?

also, would jo mind sharing the 3 questions they ask you to answer when applying?

Great answers Deb, thanks

Jo, I was just wondering, with the answering of people's questions is it a case of you being sent a number of questions to answer per day/week? Or do you choose which ones you are able to answer?

People can direct questions straight to me ia my profile page but mostly I choose which ones I want to answer. All the panellists have different strengths so we answer the ones we know the most about

i dont have kids, am i still eligible?

There are 2 Dad's on the panel so you don't need to be a Mum, definitely go for it

also, would jo mind sharing the 3 questions they ask you to answer when applying?

They may be different but here are last years -

In 100 words or less, tell us about you and your family

In 100 words or less, tell us what makes you a great Walt Disney World® vacation planner

In 100 words or less, tell us what your favorite vacation tip is for visiting Walt Disney World® Resort

 

[karentan]

do you have to have kids? i know its called the moms panel but i dont see anywhere in the eligibilty bit about actually needing to have children?!

 

[Wants2Live@WDW]

I am so excited about applying, and I think that I will apply and apply and apply (year after year) until I finally become a member of the moms panel. *giggles* I, too, was wondering about the application process, so thank you so very much for answering my question (about when the application would be available), Miss Jo!

Good luck to all applicants!!!

Pixie dust and good thoughts to us all

 

[DisneyJo]

Not long now till applications open, they'll be open for 10 days so don't miss out, good luck to everyone

 

[UKDEB]

Jo, did you mention in your application that you're a regular poster on the DISboards? I was in two minds last year, but eventually opted not to.

P.S. I finally got around to reading your trip report. What an adventure! So many wow! moments, particularly the stay in the Castle.

 

[DisneyJo]

Deb I did say that I posted on the DIS, not sure if it helped or not but it did show I knew how to use the internet

Thanks for reading my TR it truly was a once in a lifetime experience, I'm very lucky

 

[TotallyAngelic]

ooooooohhhh - how exciting! I might give this a go myself - although I have never stayed on site at WDW so I probably won't stand a chance - how many applicants do they take each year? Good luck to all of those giving it a go

 

[fizz13]

OOhhh I have been waiting for this all year!! I cant wait to have a go 100 words isn't a lot though is it? if the same questions apply this year of course good luck to all applying

 

[wideeyes]

No, 100 words isn't a lot at all.

Just in case some of you aren't Mickey Moms Club Members here's what the latest email said -

As a member of the Mickey Moms Club, you are most likely someone with a passion for "all things Walt Disney World®"! Well, it's that time of year when Mickey is on the lookout for the best, the mousiest, the most pixie-dusted vacation planners the world has ever seen to join the Walt Disney World Moms Panel.

Launched in January 2008, the site is an online forum led by real, park-savvy parents who assist with the vacation-planning process. The site became an instant success, with 12 panelists answering more than 12,000 questions in its first 10 months. Due to the popularity, Disney Destinations, LLC, created its second Moms Panel with 16 panelists who took the helm in January 2009.

Disney is looking for new people to become members of the 2010 Moms Panel. In September, we will be taking applications for the new panel. Once the new panelists are chosen, they will travel to Walt Disney World® Resort in December for training. The 2010 panelists will begin answering vacation-planning questions in January.

If you're chosen, not only could you receive a Walt Disney World Resort vacation for you and three other guests, but even cooler than that, you also could be helping families across the nation plan their best Disney trip ever!

Visit the Walt Disney World Moms Panel Web site where applications will be taken from 9:00 am Eastern Daylight Time on September 10, 2009, through 11:59 pm Eastern Daylight Time on September 20, 2009, or when we have reached 20,000 applicants, whichever comes first.

You just might be sharing your love of Disney Parks with the world!

Amy, Duncan, Leanne and Laura

How did you submit your application, everytime I try and log in it's just redirecting me to the UK site?

Yeah that happened to me and had to mess about with it a bit. What I did was left click on the log in and then click open in a new tab which went to the uk page and then clicked go to USA site and then copied and pasted the link from the moms pannel into the web browesr and it then let me log in.
